HBO Go and MAX Go updated with HDMI video out support

The long-awaited feature of HDMI video out is finally making its way to both the HBO Go and MAX Go Android apps. Users that have a a cable subscription including HBO or Cinemax can now connect their phones to TV's and monitors for video playback from the apps on the larger screen, without any restriction. This is a big deal for such a large content provider to offer the functionality, which really shouldn't have been left out in the first place.

You can grab a download of the latest version of HBO Go a the Play Store link above, and you can find MAX Go right here as well.

I am sorry to report to anyone who cares that suddenly, HBO Go is not supporting iPhone and iPad viewing on HDMI-capable TVs. This became impossible a few weeks ago. Now all you hear is audio – but no picture. I reported this three weeks ago – and it is now the end of May, 2015. Still no word from HBO GO.
